Explain Buccholz relay in detail.

Answer Posted / basavaraj patil

Buchholz relay is a gas- actuated relay installed in an oil-
immersed transformers for protection against
faults. It is used to gives an alarm in case of slow
developing faults or incipient faults in the transformer
and to disconnect the transformer from the supply in the
event of severe internal faults. It is installed in the
pipe between the conservator and main tank.

We are preparing another project which involves Waste heat recovery from a 1 MW GE Engine. The Engine in particular gives out flue gas at 487Deg C with a flow rate of 5650 kg/hour and this can be cooled to 180 Deg C. This gives a thermal output of ~ 594 KW that is available for input to VAM via heat exchanger / boiler. Additionally 581 KW will be available from engine jacket water (temperature profile 80/ 80 Deg C and a flow rate of 50m3/hr) Our estimation is that 300 TR of cooling is possible with a suitable VAM machine(s). Please advise what is the most suitable arrangement with maximum TR and min Capital expenditure. plz reply me as early as possible
